SOUTH URN 1\ TERESTS.
\Ye give below, brief extracts
from the speeches of Messrs. Ber
rien, of (Ido, llaync, of'S. C. and
Brent,ot Lou.on the “Panama Ques
tion,” and with special relation to
what is called “southern interests.”
Our views of that question, with
reference to those int rests, have
coincided with Mr. Brent’s, ever
since the subject was agitated ; and
we have been astonished that south
ern gentlemen, after seeiug the docu
ments, [and especially Mr. Clay’s
able letter to .Mr. Middleton, writ
ten only two month’s and four days
alter the organization of the present
adtiiinisl ration,] should stand opposed
to the Panama mission, because of
their fears that the people oft he new
states, (who Mr. Berrien has unhap
pily called “ bnecusticts, drift ,': with
ifatr new born liberty ,”) may dispos
sess their enemy, Spain, ol t!.c island
ol Cuba ! it is manifest—as though
an nng 1 had traced it with a pencil
of light unless to suppose what it is
impossible to believe, that the public
papers submitted to congress are
recent fabrication?, and that the
president and secretary of Mate have
both wantonly sported with all that
is honorable, honest or just, and with
out any object for it—that a leading
purpose ol ttie admiinstriion, in sen
ding ministers to Panama, was to
avert the conquest of Cuba, by the
Mexicans and Colombians, and so
defend our southern country from
tne fearful ccnscquencess that may
follow a liberation of the slaves in
that island; and, when the ministers
shall return, and their proceedings
are published, as we hope that they
may. we venture to predict, that the
people ot the south will be aktrmed
at tins opposition to a mea-ure inten
ded more to protect their peace,
than lor any other purpose what
soever.* Whence the propriety, or
necessity, of tnose severe terms ,
which Messrs. Randolph, lJeiricu,
Hayni, and other?,, have usee), when
speaking ol the new republics, or‘m
referring to negro slavery 1 Bolivar,
Sucre, Victoria, and others, will com

with our own most dtslir.gnisliod and j
best beloved patriots and Infl'oes;

glories that his own blood is thus
mixed. And what have wo to do
with this affair at alii What right,
or, aye, what power, have we to,
inter.ore ? Will the hard speeches
in congress, or the refusal to send
ministers to Panama, avail any thing
in arresting the progress of events

bout as much, we apprehend, as
the desire of a French nobleman,
expressed to an astronomer, that he
would cause another eclipse of the
sun, for the gratification of some
ladies whom he had brought to the
observatory to witness one which
had just taken place before they ar
rived! But such speeches and such
refusal may do a great deal of harm
—the first will do a great dcai of
harm. There is a strong interest, a
very strong and rival interest, op
posed our interest in Mexico, Colom
bia, Buenos Ayres, Chili and Peru,
and those speeches will be printed
and published so that every one who
reads shall become possessed ol
lliem; and if ey;r the tunc arrives

into hostile contact with these re
publics or either of them then
will tii esc speeches be used to rou.-c

people, and stimulate them to accom

dreaded by us. And why shall they
not do it, it they can ! Has not eveii
the enlightened government of Great
Britain repeatedly excited slaves to
revolt, plunder or massacre their
masters—did not that government
entice them away and use them for
warlike operations against us during
the last contest—did it net purchase

and carry on a war ot indiserimiuvle
slaughter and death on our frontiers'!
Can better thing be expected of the
Mexicans or Colombians than of the
British ? Why invite or provoke
events which w« esteem it so horri
ble to think of?
Os an me people ot the IT. States,
those of the south have the deepest
interest in the preservation of a kind

inhabitants of the southern; and the
proceedings had upon thefproposed
mission to Panama, as they relate to
the slave population in Ike south, par
takes of that sort of infatuation or
madness, that seizes upon a Javanese,
when ire runs what is called a ‘-muck’ ’
mdßavoM and to stab and to kill
every one that he nreets, until some
one puts an end to Ins infatuation by
destroying him. On coiutvtional
grounds, perhaps—and, surely, as a
question of expediency, the mission
might be opposed: and so, we must
hope, and are bound to believe, that
it was opposed by some as cool-head
ed and good men as congress can
boast of-—but Ike srrayment of ti*e
south, in the senate, in opposition to
the measure, because that the south
abounds with slaves, is the most ex
traordinary organization of an op
position that we ever heard of-—it
there is reality in that particular
ground taken. But some will rather
suppose, and many do apprehend,
that the slave question was forckd
into the discussions of the senate,
more with a view to excite a local
feeling, i r sectional jealousy, and so
bring about unity ot action on politi
cal subjects at home, than because
of danger anticipated fiom abroad;
and for this reason, that, while the
sending of ministers to Panama may
have some effect to prevent a loss ol
Cuba to spain, nr.'d a liberation ot the
slaves tlk rein, it cannot have any pos
sible tendency, or effect to bring about
"either event. The congress will be
held whether we attend it or not;
and Mexico and < Colombia will "man
age their own affairs? in their own
wav.” We may rightfully interfere
to persuade them to suffer Cuba to
remain as it is—but cannot claim or
exert any right to prevent them from
carrying on the war against their
enemy Spain, as they shall think best
to force an acknowledgement of their
independence and bring about peace.
What would we have said to the
minister of a foreign power, if lie had
interfered, except m a very good
humored way, indeed, to prevent
our attacking Canada, as the nest oj
our enemy, in the revolutionary war
with Great Britain) We should
have said —“mind your own business
and we will mind our’s.”
Cuba is, essentially the nest ofthe
power of Spain to injure the new
republics—and unless Spam speedi
ly gives up the contest, we should
esteem it highly indecorous and
justly offensive to the sovereignty
of the new states, to interpose our-
I selves between them and their de
signs on Cuba, indeed, we could
I not, would ru.t, interfere in that case
[though at present we may. Why
then, neglect the present opportuni
ty ; for what ; Heaven forbid, that
ss great a hazard of the public peace
sheuhl be made a cause of a personal
opposition to one iudividualor a per
sonal preference ‘for another! ire
repeat it—the Panama n ission can
be oppsed with that perfect right
which every one has'to make up an
opinion for himself, because ot a fear
that it may change the policy of our
government, or bring about entan
glements with foreign nations ; but,
as Mr. Brent observes the mission
is evidently “ for the protetion of
southern iniersts. " and it is impossi
ble for us to discover bow our want
of courtesy to the new republics may
have effect to retard tbeiroperations
against Cuba; aiul the“ tirin union,
of the south, ” iu (ho senate, on tins
m* morirtde occasion, so Jar as it re
spects the special matter stnt <l, is,
in our estimation a moa signal tri
umph of political fee' iug over a re
gard for personal safety.
Our readers will see, by turning
lo pages 1 and 3d, of the present,
volume, that we have so regarded
this subject, from the first moment
when it was known, by the strange
speech of Mr. Randolph, that the
“ slave question ’ was any way
presented as an objection to the
mission. It is we must suppose, the
very last ground that the scutlj
should have taken against the ad
ministration, being inthe face of ev
ery fact that bears upon the matter
iu genera), and a? manifesting a pal
pable neglect to do the only thing
which we can do, to prevent the ca
lamity which the south is represen
ted as fearing; and several members
ol congress said they were strongly
tempted to vote agianst the mission
because of these things. But this is a
feeding that must not be indulged.
Political differences may not he al
lowed to endanger the safety of the
republic ; and the trutlqwill soon and
certainly appear to all the people ol
the United States, as it has appear
ed to Mr- Brent —as a great effort
on the part of the administ ration to
preserve Cuba to Spain, and otherwise
secure the safety of the south.
We have net seen or heard any
thing like a reason why th s mission
shonld not be thus regarded.—None
ofthe many words uttered about it,
touch this point with effect. Some
of the arguments concerning the ex
pedionn? "of the ineastir , as a great
noht’ral procedure are highly I. u
orable to the talents of gentlemen
who, so skilfully and power fully usee!
them, and are entitled to great re
spect ; but this declaration about
slavery, and rant, is excessively
obnoxious (o every principle of sound
policy** and indeed in opposition to
itsoh ' It revolution in Cuba i
really feared—let the me means thu
w. posse-c bo used to prevent it
our means are only persuasive. The
abvse of a man like Bolivar— and
the culling of him a “buccanier,” and
bv senators of the United States, will
not conciliate hint and those who
almost idolize him for his glorious
disinterestedness, astonishing per
severance, manly and humane dis
position, and undoubted military skill
and valor. Besides, do wc uot owe
something to our own love of liberty
—to our own consistency 1 By almost
unanimous votes,, wc acknowledg. and
the independence ofthe new states*
—the whole people of these United
States have hailed their inarch to
freedom with unbounded joy—oar
ship-owners and merchants, manufac
turers and grain growers, merchanics
and artists of every description, in
fluenced as well by principle as inte
rest, and every one us feeling his own
liberty more safe because ot the in
crease of free nations, all which may
yet be compelled to defend them
selves against that infernal conspira
cy of kings to brutalize the world,
which is called the “holy alliance,”
though he that was the soul of it is
as the beggar who perishes on a
dunghill. Can we go bach from all
these things! shall we incur so great
a loss of reputation, and ot interest,
arid provoke the enemy of these pow
er?, which may do the most to bring
about a servile war in our own land,
because one gentleman was elected
president of the U.' States, ami some
other gentleman was not, though we
cun put the one out or place any
other in, a short time hence, and with
out the least difficulty, if it shuii
please the states and the people so
to do ?

Funeral oj the Emperor Alexandra .
The funeral procession of the Em

Moscow, is thus described by Count
Orloll Denisoff, in liis official des
patch : —“On the 28th of January,
( 9th of February,) the precision
set out at seven in the morning to
make its entry into Tula. An im
mense crowd had to come to meet
it at the distance of six miles from
the town, where the workmen em
ployed in the manufactory of arms
were waiting, on their knees, for its
approach, and earnestly solicited
permission to draw the hearse’ a du
ty which they performed with all the
signs of ardent zeal and pious respect
for the distance of eight wersts. At
the distance of one wen t from the
town they were relieved by the
merchants and citizens, who had al
so waited on their knees, the arrival
ot the procession. At the Barrier
the Bishop, accompanied by a nu
merous body of clergy, the Gov
ernor and civil officers, the nobility,
and citizens ofal! classes, joined the
solemn procession and accompanied
it to the cathedral—The catafalque
and canopy erected there surpassed

Extract from the speech ol .Mr. Livingston
of I.ousiana in the House of Representatives
April. 12th.
Mr. Chairman: Out of this House,
and, 1 am very sorry to say, in some
degree, by implication, within it.
th- members have been clas-ed eith
er as indiscriminate supporters, oi
opposers of all measures proposed by
tiie Executive. Hence, it has been
deemed necessary fur those who do
not # wish to be designated by either
of these denominate ns, explicitly to
state the relation in which they stand
toboth, and the principles on which
they intend to act, when their vote
might imply support or disapproba
tion" of Executive measures.
Yielding to tins necessity, I reluc
tantly speak of myself, and declare
tliai at Lie last election, when the
President was designated by the
House, 1 g.ve my voice in favor ol
th« candidate who had tne grtatest
number of eketorial votes. That
1 did so because I had witnessed iu
him possession of qualities, and the
x-rtien ol talents, which qualified
him, as 1 tnought, in a greater degree
than any otlior man now living, for
that place. Wisdom' in forming his
plans—promptitude and energy m
their execution —courage utterly
regardless of danger, w hen circum
stances required action—prudence
mat to be irritated or drawn from its
purpose when an advantage was to
be gained by delay— stern integrity,
not only incorruptible ir. itself, but
debarring all under his influence oi
direction * from the approach of
corruption—tlie highest s use ol
honour—a devotedness to the cause
of his country that annihilated every
consideration of personal safety or
advantage—a talent never, perhaps
equalled, ol uniting discordant opin
ions, and directing them in time of
danger to the common defence— and,
m the moment of victory and triumph,
a profound and cheerlul submission
to the laws ol the country, even
w hen they imposed a heavy penalty
tor acts done to preserve the law it
self, and the country from destruction.
1 prel'erud him not only because h.
was by these characteristics eminent
ly qualified lor the place, but because,
by Ins exercise of them, 1 thought
the country had incurred a debt oi
gratitude which could only be can
celled by the highest honors, and the
strongest marks of confidence it
could bestow. No one, sir, can just
ly appreciate the magnitude of the
debt, who was not witness to the
manner in which it was incurred
who did not see the nature and im
minence ol the danger, and the ce
lebrity and efficiency of the delive
rance who could not compare liis
inadequate means with the glorious
object he made them attain—and
who was not an eye w itness to one
ot the greatest miracles, in the work
ing ot which Almighty God has
deigned to employ the instrumentali
ty of human talent and human cour
age.
Vi e read, sir, of the sack of cities-,
and ol the destruction, piliage,
butchery, violation, and other attio
cities with which they are attended,
anu we ieel emotions of horror ; but
tney are transitory ; and, if the tale
be often repeated, wc hear it with
indifference; but when you have
yourself been exposed to such dan
gers,—when they were at your very
threshhoid— when a space that may
be traversed in a few minutes is ail
that separates your home from con
tiagiation, your property from plun
der, your wives and children, anu
all who look to you for protection
from exposure to the brutal inso
lence ot a savage soldiery—in a
place from whence there is no .re
treat; and with no hope of safety,
but in the courage of a few brave, but
undisciplined, til-armed defenders,
arrayed against three times their
number ot well appointed veterans,
hot on the scent of carnage and
booty. When you have seen and
felt this, the impression is never ef
faced ;
‘‘ Sogmus irritantan'mos dctr.ksa per aurtm
uu.niqua' sunt oculis, suhjeetafiddibusetouse
■ Sunt ipse trsd.t spectator.”
With me, sir, it is not a transitory
impression. 1 have.seen, I have felt
the danger. I have witnessed and
exulted in the triumph of cur de
liverance ; and When I forget the
deliverers ; when I omit any proper
n.t .cs in my power to give to him
the distinctions which his services
merit, and to my country the bor.efh

ol these whom I represent. .*

Dog vs, Fish —The following
singular story was related to us by
a gentleman whose veracity may be
relied on: On Wednesday of" last
week, two daughters of a Mr. Can
field, who reside about five mile
oelow this village, proceeded to
the Niagara River for water, and
■vere followed by the family dog.
On their arrival, they discovered a
substance of a singular appearance
-e»bhng a fish. They sent a stick
•nthc direction of the object, which
was followed by *• Rover,” who on
discovering the supposed fish, “ gave
